[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m nervous about my high school kids losing a week before APs since they are already really far behind.  Wish those teachers could email out the assignments so kids could get ahead.  It’s going to be brutal when they get back.[/quote]

I agree that MCPS teachers should send out homework at least. Seems like they have been instructed not to do any work though.[/quote]

Why aren’t more people talking about this? One DC is at W HS and the other is at private. Private school kid was given a freebie snow day on Monday, but had work Tuesday and will again today—it amounted to roughly four hours of wreading, writing, prepping for an upcoming lab, and problem sets. I get that it’s the start of the new term and many students have a new teacher even but that shouldn’t impact teachers’ ability to assign work. Not blaming the teachers as I am aware this is an mcps issue vs individual issue, but frankly it’s pathetic.

I understand the upset about childcare for those with younger kids but why aren’t families with MS/HS students more upset that there kids aren’t being asked to do anything academic? [/quote]

So you want more free labor from teachers.  [/quote]

That’s ridiculous.  Teachers are still getting paid, even with the snow day.  And sending out a few assignments is hardly a crushing work load.[/quote]

Technically teachers are not getting paid. Our paychecks are staying the same, but there will be days tacked on either the end of the year or before that are in place of the snow days. We don't get additional pay for those days since we are only paid for the 180 contracted days. [/quote]
